I don't understand either.
Kishimoto: Mediocre author at best. Treats his female cast like shit, and can't develop realistic relationships by himself.
Continuing of Naruto when it doesn't need to continue: Agreed. Naruto should of ended at 699, it never needed the next generation crap.
Art: Yes the art sucks. However that can improve overtime. Plus when Ikemoto does color panels, you can definitely tell he worked under Kishimoto. This is his first time drawing a Mangaka by himself. Can't we give him the benefit of the doubt for a while? Seriously.
Power Inconsistencies/Nerfs: I haven't seen much inconsistency or nerfs until the Gaiden which introduced that Naruto was rusty. Other than that, everything has been pretty simple. The Manga hasn't even introduced a problem here yet. Boruto or Kawaki haven't been stated to surpass any high tier character, nor was it claimed that Naruto was actually dead yet.
My only problem with the new series is that:
> I want a darker story. I really won't be reading this if it has the same push over kindness Naruto Part 2 had ever since Nagato was saved.
> Side characters/Female characters should be given more screen time, or at least not to be treated like trash. Sarada/Chou Chou/Himawari should at least be likable enough for fan's to talk about, and not complain about in the future. EX - Sakura & Hinata
> I hope the villain isn't crap either. The minute we get some lame backstory on why Kawaki wants revenge on the Shinobi world, then it's pretty much over. We've had lack luster and mediocre villains for a long time. If they can surprise us and give the readers someone who makes the manga interesting on the other side, maybe even make readers see that his path is understandable. We could jump start something here.
My only real problem with it so far is that the Manga is retelling the Movie, and given that the series is monthly, we probably won't be getting new content for another 2 or 3 months. The only thing I can criticize it on so far given that it has shown us nothing else.
Oh and the only plus so far is that Adult Boruto doesn't look like a fucboi like Part 2 Naruto
